“The group exhibition Rushes, curated by Juliette Desorgues and Raoul Klooker, explores the pervasive influence of screen-based technologies on our daily lives, where private and public become increasingly enmeshed. Borrowed from the term “rushes,” used in film and video production to describe unedited footage, the exhibition title reflects the artists’ interest in the immediacy of recording, screening and broadcasting inherent to quotidian consumer electronics.
Drawing a contemporary parallel to video art of the late 1980s and early ‘90s—produced before the rise of the internet, and engaged with television as a mass medium for the transmission of information, ideologies, and pop culture—the works assembled in Rushes centre on portable devices that have become integral to the viewing, recording, and sharing of data and moving images. At a time when the digital sphere is increasingly associated with misinformation, surveillance and reactionary politics, Rushes explores a heightened awareness of these shifts underpinning today’s socio-political landscape.” (Text excerpt from the press release by courtesy of Fluentum)
